Melville in Love Read Online Free Page A

old home of Arrowhead was memorable and enormously useful, thanks in large part to the helpful staff from the Berkshire County Historical Society—especially Will Garrison,curator, and Eileen Myers. I want also to thank Wayne Myers, for taking me to see Lake Morewood at what used to be the Broadhall farm. Members of the staff at the Pittsfield Country Club were also kind enough to show me the interior of the old mansion.
    For research assistance, I am grateful to Michael Frost, Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University; Elizabeth E. Fuller, librarian, Rosenbach Museum and Library, Philadelphia; and Tal Nadan, reference archivist, Manuscripts and Archives Division, New York Public Library. Decades of scholarly research have been enormously helpful to me, especially the admirable labors of Harrison Hayford, Brian Higgins, Lynn Horth, Jay Leyda, Henry A. Murray, Steven Olsen-Smith, Hershel Parker, and Merton M. Sealts Jr.
    I also appreciate the support of Gayle Cook; Professor Thomas Derrick; Mary Ann Duncan; Professor Joseph Fisher and Nancy Fisher; Maria McKinley and Dr. Lee McKinley; Professor Robert Perrin; Lee Pollock; Mary Burch Ratliff and Dr. Wesley Ratliff; June Shelden; Vanessa Shelden; and Sarah Shelden Coplen and Collins Coplen.
    The dedication acknowledges imperfectly how much I owe to the love and influence of my wife and my grandparents.
